with the conclusion of the story of Force Green, aka Team Tortuga, aka the Fey Knights Gen 2!
SAGA Log 1500: Retiring the Party
Module: Tomb of Annihilation (Modified for High Level)
On the world of Merth-Yoril:
Pylia the half-elf bladesinger, Blue the satyr paladin, and Artus Cimber the human wielder of the Ring of Winter were in Port Nyanzaru while Drizmar the drow assassin and Blood the gnome cleric were in Pylia's demiplane. The team from the Harpers was repairing the Tortuga for them.
Pylia, Blue, and Artus went on a mission to loot Veersalla's treasures; they encountered five liches, but defeated them after 10 rounds of combat. Blue had to revivify Artus and Pylia had successfully saved the Ring of Winter from falling into evil hands. While investigating, they realized some additional liches might have escaped, but they destroyed six phylacteries and the phoenix-summoning stone. They rested for the night before returning to the port city. After a week, their ship was fully repaired and they decided to use their full power to permanently kill off Veersalla.
They spent about a week flying their ship home to the Feywild, where they brought Artus to the Summer Queen. She was able to destroy the Ring of Winter and free the true city of Mezro from the Feywild. Thus Artus was reunited with his wife and able to convince the Mezro leaders to return the ancient city to Chult. The team also realized Oberon and the Summer Queen were dating.
From messaging their family, they realized that the team who had gone into the Far Realms on their quest had returned. Gargle-Gargle had died, but the rest of that team was back and happy. Azel and Ylara were back in Balder's Gate. Gloria and Borngray I were back in the Sapphire Coast. Borngray II was back in the Jade Empire. Daria and Alt-Oran were back to seeking primordial power.
The "Core 4" teleported to Waterdeep, gathered the Slarkathel cult, retrieved the tome to summon the kraken, and killed off the evil cultists. They summoned Slarkrathel in the desert and killed him. Drizmar went off on a side mission and killed Ivanja. He also invited Laz, who had been friends with Drizzt, to come live on Oerth in Pylia's swamp city.
Blue bonded with Va'Zarbreena and realized the underground mining operations extended beyond their territory throughout the Feywild Underdark. He convinced the Mind Lynx cats to return to Merth-Yoril to go live out their lives there. He also released his Chwinga spirit friend into the Feywild, who gave Blue a divine blessing and recruited more Chwinga spirits to come live there. Alt-Oran came and taught Blue how to become an archfey - thus, after a month, Blue became the Lord of Thorns. Mercy was happy to be relieved of responsibility and planned to spend his time focused on raising his son.
Meanwhile, Pylia: fortified her city on Oerth, made sure Fritz and Brodo of GOAT were staying out of her affairs, regularly went to the Feywild to meet with Va'Zarbreena and Blue, met with Keraptis to let him know he could back off with the fiend-protection, gave her elven soul crystal to her Evermeet allies so they would start teaching her elven high magic, and researched how to make magic items auto-attune without a negative curse.
They had a huge party in the Feywild to celebrate Blue's coronation as an archfey. In the end, he was able to sit on his magical dragonbone throne.
THE END
(for now...)
DM's Note
Ending a campaign is always bittersweet. It's fun and worthy of celebration, but it's also sad to leave behind the characters. We played out this group for a year and half, meeting almost every week for 5-8 hours at a time. But more than that, they continued to explore stories and connections from their family member's stories from the last several years of roleplaying so it really felt like everything came together from years of storytelling.
We have copies of Xanathar's Guide to Everything and are considering options for the next campaign. We want to try something different so it should be fun and somewhat fresh.
